nolongerhuman … Read Full Bio ↴We are nolongerhuman, and this is only the beginning…
nolongerhuman is the sole project of Clint Robertson.
Starting in 2000, with a project called Varix, which focused on heavy electronics and Noise infused beats, Clint was quickly noticed and included in several compilations.
2004, furthering the nolongerhuman concept, several demo only recordings were released, and the development of what would become nolongerhuman’s signature sound began emerging.
2006 saw the first compilation release, a track titled Transcend Humanity on BLC Records Interbreeding IX: Kuru. It generated a great amount of interest, even without vocals, and again, showed a remarkable growth from earlier work, in addition to catching the interest of several promoters and DJ’s all along the West Coast.
2007, nolongerhuman continued to work on new music, seeing the release of 13 tracks, all creating a growing fan base both locally, nationally, and internationally. The first live shows began to be discussed. In May, the first nolongerhuman show, with two other local bands in Portland took place, to a stunned audience. Immediately after getting off stage he was approached for 4 more shows. Each subsequent show, opening for bands like Haujobb, and Gothminister, and God Module, earned more fans, and more supporters of the music. The demand for a longer live set quickly developed, which led to the first nolongerhuman headline show.
2009 saw the release of the debut album “Antipathy” on COP International Records. Released to nearly universal positive reviews “Antipathy” became a must have. Genre bending harsh electronics with a sense of emotion rarely seen in. Focused, determined, with a message to carry. Touring for “Antipathy” began in late 2009 and continued through 2010, supporting acts like both Nachtmahr and Funker Vogt.
2012, nolongerhuman releases “Depersonalization” on COP international. Focusing on the inhumanity in everyday life. The music is a direct response to everyday atrocity, the lyrics are both political, personal, and sociological. Heavy, distorted beats, screamed vocals, and incredibly aggressive keyboards come together with the use of found samples and movie samples as well as real emotion, nolongerhuman is as much a diary as it is an experience. All combining to form one of the most punishing, thought provoking acts available.
2014 now brings the third album, “Withdrawal.” A great mixture of hard hitting beats, catchy keyboard riffs and a haunting sense of ambience drenched with foreboding swirls of doom. Heavy use of vocal samples put “Withdrawal’ in a historical context, harking back to early 90s industrial. A deeply personal album, a journey to find oneself, yet it never shies away to take a stand, to be honest, to be truthful.
“I only plan on moving forward from here, or I will die trying.”
Darling

With what
You've done
I Lost my trust
My faith in you
I live
With what
You've done
I am still down here
I live
With what
You've done
I Lost my hope
My need for you
I live
With what
You've done
I Know you don't care
I am here without you
Come close to me
My Dear
See Who you are
What you've done to me
Come Close to me
Darling
The Lies you told
Ruined me
The lyrics of nolongerhuman's song "Darling" convey a sense of betrayal and loss of trust. The singer expresses their pain and suffering caused by the actions of their beloved. The song creates a melancholic atmosphere with the repetition of the phrase "I live with what you've done" and the somber melody. The singer acknowledges the lack of care from the person who hurt them and the deep impact it has had on their life. However, the singer still longs for the person to be close to them, perhaps hoping for some form of reconciliation or closure.
The phrase "Come close to me, my dear" creates a jarring contrast to the harsh reality of the situation. The singer still addresses their beloved as "darling," emphasizing the complexity of the emotions involved. The repeated line "See who you are, what you've done to me" underscores the idea that the person responsible for the betrayal may not fully understand the magnitude of their actions.
The lyrics of "Darling" may resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of being let down by someone they trusted. The emotions expressed in the song are raw and honest, and the simple, repetitive structure adds to the sense of despair.
